Have you read the only review?

Do not do what it says on the tin!
I was caught i a downpour. They were wet through within 10 minutes and remained so all day. Not warm and not waterproof. They went straight back. One positive: They were a comfortable fit on the bars.

Caviat emptor!

One review by a monkey! I just tested mine under a running tap and then submerged in a sink of water. Not a drop got in does what it says unless the person who wrote the review had the water run down the sleeve into the glove which is what I suspect. I dont have any affilation with Sealskinz but mine work prefectly

I also spotted that review, she said the activity she was doing was golf... I didn't realise motorcycle gloves were used by golfers...

The question is why isnt she at work instead of calling in doing a sicky biggrin

russell11031967 · Devon's Best

Only ever had there socks and ordered a new pair with the gloves after over five years use from the last pair without a problem :)

RichT4 · Champion

Mine arrived today and they a pretty nice, might just use them on the road bike though, far too nice for getting near mud.

£9.95 including delivery

Just ordered another pair. Well done for the update smile

ttr steve · Devon's Best

The ones on ebay are a bit different, fakes?????? What do others think??????

Will see what they turn up to be, but cheap anyways.

I think you are correct as they are certainly different than the ones I have here. For a start the carbon on the knuckles is different and so is the thumb patch .

Used them in the rain and can confirm that they don't keep your hands dry. Worth a try I guess. hmm

ttr steve · Devon's Best

Which ones bob?

Is that the new ones here?

urban punkawallah · Sportsman

The ebay ones, looks like they may be copies. Good luck with the others. At least the wife can use them for gardening (big hands)

Just received mine, too.

Straight into a bowl of water -

dry hands!

Looking good

Cubber · Expert

I asked the eBay seller whether their gloves were really Sealskinz. confuse

I have had NO REPLY - so a bit of doubt remains - could explain their price. hmm

Not to mention the ebay specials don't have the wording "SealSkins" printed down the side and instead have a pull strap tensioner. confuse

If I owned Sealskinz I'd be pretty upset about fakes being sold on fleabay (if they are), especially as they aren't actually water resistant.

Maybe someone who bought the ebay ones should contact Sealskinz?

If it were me I'd see if Sealskins wanted them to check out, if not then I'd be registering a complaint through ebay, and asking for my money back... wink

ttr steve · Devon's Best

I will contact them, if the fleabay ones turn out to be fake!

Sealskin ones have arrived and I am very pleased with them smile smile

Dom1 · Clubman B

Mine arrived, run them under the tap, no leaks.

Will try them on bike. Intend to use them for the road sections and use my neoprene ones when I am on trail as I find my hands get cold doing road speeds when the neoprene gets wet.

Devon_Rich · Clubman A

Have mine. Glad I ordered the xxl..

devondan · Champion

Couldn't help myself!

butty · Clubman B

Got mine today and they look great, only regret that i didn't get 2 pairs.

Thanks for the link Mike

Mike Wright · Clubman A

Did i mention you all owe me a beer for finding them so cheap biggrin ..on serious note Im glad everyone got them

+1... or even 3 pairs! biggrin

Cubber · Expert

I have just received a reply from the eBay trader regarding my query.

I can't quite check the veracity of the well worded response but the assertion is that the gloves for sale on their eBay site are genuine Sealskinz products.

Of course they would hmm

nah, i just got the one pair, and one for the mrs a size smaller. But I do wish I'd have doubled up on mine, or tripled up...

ttr steve · Devon's Best

The ebay ones turned up today, not exactly the same as the ones direct from sealskinz........

But they are either the best copies I have ever seen or are originals.

Personally I think they are NOT fakes, anyone one else get some????

Whatever they are very nice gloves for the money smile

russell11031967 · Devon's Best

Tried mine out yesterday morning on the bike glad I got XL seemed fine on the bike kept the chilly morning out then tried them in the sink when I got home :)

Perhaps they are an older version,

ie. last years model maybe?
